Everybody is a Capitalist.

Today's Tids Issue 3,258
Opening Stuff:
 
There’s a good chance today that the Tids will arrive with icicles hanging off as it passes through the frozen cyber. But don’t worry; I try to always send a lot of warmth along with it too.
 
The surfers were having a fantastic day. It was Beachy-Keen. “Beachy-keen”?
 
I think that President Obama will spend the rest of his term campaigning for Emperor of the Global Progressive Community. Of course, with the Hillary topping money he’ll be making on the post Presidency circuit, he may find Capitalism.
 
Driving bumper to bumper at 50-60 mph in a snow storm is further proof that America is losing its collective mind. Whatever happened to common sense? How much faster do you get home being 50 inches from the car in front versus 50 yards?
 
The Question:
I was reminded of Robert Mitchum today. He made a ton of good movies, many celebrating US might in WWII. Name what are considered his ten top films. Bonus: Shirley Bassey was the big voice in many James Bond movies. Which ones?
 
The Headlines:
--Markets Open Strong Again. Dow Near 250 At 10:00AM; Japan Stocks Post Biggest gain In 3 Weeks.
--New Jobless Claims Stay below Key Level Of 300K.
--Manhunt Intensifies In France; Journalists Around The Globe Rally In Support Of New Freedom Of Press Martyrs.
--Lawmakers Pressuring Obama To Release Secret 911 Documents That Allege Saudi-Arabia Involvement In Attack that Killed 3,000 Americans.
--Cosby Gets Roaring Welcome At Toronto Comedy Event; Protestors Outside Shout, “Rape Isn’t Funny”.
--At Big Union Conclave, Elizabeth Warren Blasts Hillary and Hubby Admin On Deregulating Wall Street
--FBI Exhibits New Evidence Linking NK To Sony Attack.
--Fla St QB Winston To Leave for NFL; Woman Accuser Suing University And Winston Over “Uninformed Acquittal”.
 
As hard as I look, I find there is no “Freedom of Droning” in the first Amendment. Hobbyists and enthusiasts are clamoring to join in the soaring, but the Gov is putting the brakes on the excitement, not just for people with backyards, but for all commercial uses too. The basic claim of investigators is that there has just been no, “0”, attention paid to safety. Jeff Bezos will be waiting for a while before diaper delivery is feasible. “5 pound bricks” falling from the sky is not good for the public.
 
Actually many of the libs are capitalist wolves in sheep’s clothing. Gore’s Global warming is all about creating new markets that provide expanded marketing opportunities for alternative energy companies.
 
People of all faiths get blasted satirically by the irreverent and unkind cultural elite all of the time. Fortunately they turn the other cheek, but the slaps still smart.
 
A tip O’ the Tids Tam to the Chorus of Westerly RI who will perform their fortieth and last “12th Night”.  It is and has been an amazing adventure in creativity with fantastic music, full of color and magical shenanigans. I wonder what magic they have planned for the years ahead.
 
Union leaders are capitalists. They market labor unrest for profit.
 
The official portrait of RI’s Outgoing governor Chafee looks like Robert Mitchum in his serial killer role in the movie “Night of the Hunter”.
 
The ten states with the highest death rates from alcohol poisoning are Alaska, New Mexico, Rhode Island, Arizona, Wyoming, Massachusetts,  Maine, New Hampshire and Connecticut.
 
Speaking of alcoholism, diminishing the stigma is one of the most important ingredients to moving the afflicted to recovery.
 
The Answer:
Number One according to a movie fan vote, is “Night of the Hunter” (See Governor Chafee. Next is Cape Fear, followed by Heaven Knows Mr. Allison, The Enemy Below, Thunder Road, Out of the Past, El Dorodo, River of No Return, Ryan’s Daughter and The Longest Day. The next five are Man With a Gun, (Another) Cape Fear, The List of Adrian Messenger, Macao, The Hunters and The Big Sleep. Bonus: Bassey sang the themes of Goldfinger, Diamond are Forever and Moonraker.
 
Shirley sings it:
 
 
Big NFL picks tomorrow. How exciting can this Tids thing get!
